I read a 'Teach Yourself How To...' book the other day.
This one taught you how to fall down stairs.
It teaches you step by step.
This made me chuckle as back when I was around 8 years old we lived in the mountains, and when we would drive to town there would be "Look for Falling Rocks" signs-,
My Dad told me that they were for "Big Chief Falling Rock" and that I should watch out for him-this went on for years, and I was so gullible!
So, when my boys were growing up I decided that it was time for my fun, and I told them the same story-,my oldest looked at me wide eyed and said "I saw him just last week!!"
It was priceless!
I continued on with my games (being a Grandpa is so much fun!) and recently one of my Grandaughters asked me where Tapioca comes from (as she was eating it)-I told her it came from the Tapioca Bird and she probably shouldn't eat it because of how it was produced-I'm such a stinker!!
You should have seen her reaction when she found out I was pulling her leg!
My Grandpa convinced me that he changed the high beams by flicking his fingers at the dash.
No matter how many times I tried, I couldn't make it work.
A door to door salesman was driving down a country road one day when he came upon a chicken that was really running fast. Salesman tried to pass the chicken when he noticed the chicken had 3 legs. and the chicken was keeping right up at 50 mph. Salesman speeds up to 70 and the chicken passes him and cuts off to the right up ahead so the salesman follows and comes to a farm down the road and stops. He asks the farmer if he saw a 3 legged chicken.
''Yes'' said the farmer.
''Is that your chicken?''
''Yes ''replied the farmer.
''Why does it have 3 legs?'' asked the salesman.
''Well I bred that chicken to have 3 legs'' says the farmer.
''Why would you do that?'' asked the salesman.
'' Its simple really. my wife likes the drumstick, and may son likes the drumstick and I like the drumstick. so with a 3 legged chicken we can all have a drumstick.'' replied the farmer.
''How do they taste?' 'asked the salesman.
'' We don't know since we haven't ever been able to catch one.'' said the farmer.
tastes like chicken?
Husband and Wife are Christmas Shopping at a busy shopping mall just before Christmas. The wife suddenly noticed that her husband was missing and as they had a lot to do, so she called him on his cell. The wife said "Where are you, you know we have lots to do."
He said "You remember the jewelers we went into about 10 years ago, and you fell in love with that diamond necklace? I could not afford it at the time and I said that one day I would get it for you?"
Little tears started to flow down her cheek and she got all choked up…
"Yes, I do remember that shop." she replied.
"Well I am in the gun shop next door to that.”

Sad news today, the man who invented the sippy cup used by toddlers world wide died. His entire company now belongs to Mrs. Sippy.
Sappy Sippy! but cute!
I lived by the code of "Live hard, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse". Then it became clear that 2 of those three things were no longer an option so I just quit the third.
DejaVu all over again.....

Sex after 60 is like playing Pool with a rope
Please forgive me if I’ve posted this before. The ost above from TOW’D brought this story to mind. It is a true story and not only quite telling, but very funny.
Years ago Joanie and I attended a church in Oregon where the youth pastor was from Canada. He related an incident that had taken place at his previous church. When the high school seniors were getting ready to graduate, the pastor assembled a panel of experts from the congregation – a senior VP from a bank, the owner of a local lumber yard/hardware store, a medical doctor, a college professor and several others to include the senior elder of the church (a gentleman named Vernon Wilson). For several weeks, the pastor asked the high schoolers to submit written questions that would be fielded by this panel of experts during a banquet that was to be held in the senior’s honor.
The appointed day came and the seniors along with hundreds of members of the congregation assembled for the celebration. As the meals were cleared, the pastor assembled the panel on the stage and then drew questions from a large glass bowl. It went something like this:
“My grandparents gave me a $1,000 check for graduation. What should I do with this money?” The question was fielded by the VP from the bank with several options for investments.
Another question was read, “I don’t think I am college material – I’d like to work someplace where I can actually learn a trade. What are my options?” The business owner suggested the young man come by his establishment and he could get him started in learning the lumber/hardware business.
Several more questions were fielded and answers/suggestions were rendered. All was going according to plan until the pastor drew the following question:
“At what age do people stop having sex?”
A collective inhale sound was followed by total silence as the very conservative congregation waited for the pastor to dismiss this question. Instead Vernon stood to his feet and replied,
“I think I can address this one.” He re-read the question, “At what age do people stop having sex?... Hmmm, well I don’t rightly know, but I can tell you it’s sometime after 70.”
The place erupted with clapping and cheers as Vernon sat down with a big smile on his face.
Up until that evening, all of the high school boys had revered Vernon and always addressed him as “Mr. Wilson.” In the ensuing days, the high school boys were seen giving Mr. Wilson high-fives and asking,
“Yo Vernon – how’s Mrs. Wilson!” – Which elicited great peals of laughter from all parties followed by great times of discussion among Vernon and the boys. He became an icon and a hero to those kids.
Could someone please tell me what is the lowest rank in the army?
Every time I ask anyone they won't tell me because it's private.
